They are gutted. Apparently sometimes you can get one that still has guts and it tastes bitter, according to mouth-full-of-sardines blog guy. I do not know how they gut tiny fish.

You just squeeze 'em and the guts fly out the wazoo.

Hmm...

I wonder if a sardine vinaigrette would be good. Sardine oil, sherry vinegar, and some mustard emulsified and served on salad.

This is exactly how, and I think the only way, my dadly neighbor eats salad. Of course he puts the 'dines on the salad too. He prefers HOT TITUS so his taste is suspect but he's still a 'dine dad.

When I want to buy Chinese foodstuffs I will go through the poo poo on the shelf until I can at least find something made in Taiwan. Would never eat a Chinese food product if there was another option. The reason is I ~~lived in China for a while.~~ can read.

Fixed for me.

I'll pose the question again since it was looked over but now we're talking about affordability, where's the best place online to get tins of quality dine's at affordable prices?

I got four-packs of KOs at Costco last year for a tiny bit under $2/tin. Shop sales, or find other quality products. I try everything but so far the king is the king. Those russian ones are comparable but even more expensive than KO. Right now I'm working on trying all the never-heard-of foreign brands at the local asianmart.

Sup dads, it's my birthday toda...well was until 11 min ago. Didn't eat sardines but I can still smell the fish sauce from my pho lunch.

nah dude brown rice is tasty but hard to cook correctly

# ¿ Jan 15, 2016 18:03

pr0k: Jan 16, 2001; "Well if it's gonna be

Cook it in the oven. Also make sure it's fresh. Whole grains have protein and fat in them that can go rancid.

Basic recipe:

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups brown rice
1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter
3 cups boiling water

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Place rice, salt, and butter in a casserole dish that has a cover. Pour boiling water over rice; stir.
Cover and bake in preheated oven until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, fluff with fork, and serve hot.

is there a way to make it that doesn't require exponentially more energy than it contains? seriously, boiling the water and running an oven at 400 for an hour is way more of a carbon foot print than that poo poo can possibly be worth.

not sardines but if you wanna be a pro dad, get a smoker. smoking your own meat is definitely near the top when it comes to dadliness

you get to drink beer and slowly watch something turn into the best food you'll ever eat

I cure and smoke my own bacon. Once you try it you will be unable to go back to that poo poo at the grocery store.

Also reubens are awesome. Rye bread is dadly.

Y'all got me buying odd brands of canned fish now just to see what they're like. Thanks thread.

Ditto. I'm waiting for my Royal Taster's Kit so I had mackerel on the brain. Grabbed this from the asian supermarket and had for lunch the other day:

Just ok. The fish was hammered to the point where it was even still like it was crisp on the outside almost, but the "chili" sauce was just sweet and uninteresting. Doused with grace until interesting. Still, a worthwhile experiment.

This thread is great and full of wonderfully dadly things. The recent pickle/kimchi talk makes me happy. However, have you heard about the good word of liptauer?

What is liptauer you ask? It is a wonderful dadly concoction of cheese and magical spices, utterly perfect to go with black breads, pretzels, etc. There are recipes out there to make your own, but I will stand by my opinion that the liptauer that Zingerman's makes is the best stuff on earth. Also, if you don't know what Zingerman's is you obviously aren't from the great lakes and I feel sorry for you.

I am going to have this in my face. I love sheep milk cheese. Once a Slovak exchange student stayed with us and I made bryndzov� halu�ky from scratch, but I had to use feta because I couldn't get bryndza.

Also kimchi and definitely jiggae are totally pro-dad.

In the North of China you can get these really cheap bowls of noodles in broth except the broth is quite thin and the noodles are plain wheat so there's very little flavor. The way you eat them is you pour some of this black vinegar into the broth

Koreans eat raw garlic too, like after dinner mints! :confused:

I love me some black vinegar. I make my own hot-and-sour soup on the reg. I add white vinegar to it though because the black adds great flavor but not enough sour.

Switched to Beach Cliff in Louisiana Hot Sauce for this week (they're okay 'dines, and only like a dollar for the daily stash) and the sauce they use is tough to pinpoint. It's DEFINITELY not an LA-style red vinegar weak rear end sauce, it's got a little kick but still no hotter than a Sriracha. I dunno it's weird, but good I approve

I had an emergency can of these at my desk. Ate em today because I forgot to take my KOs out of my lunchbag and they were super cold. Pretty boring, weak sauce. Big mushy fishes. Doused in sriracha and ate on saltines anyway.

Anchovies are never dines despite being small and oily. This is due to the funk. The funk is mostly from the processing rather than the fish but the fact remains.

Good quality anchovies are not funky. They're kind of a nice place inbetween 'dine and anchovy, taste-wise.

Got hungry. Eating KO's in Dijon. Don't like the mustard. I like dijon, but this dijon isn't that good. The profile is full but flat. The fish are fine but there's too much mustard and it's thick and hard to separate from the fish.

Eating it anyway.
